Holy shit.

Good on him. Stick to your principles and all that.

800 million quid? Pffft. What's that to someone who enjoys singing eh?

Holy shit.

Fair play to him. He doesn't need the money and a lot of these reunions are just money makers for some people.

 

[CorNokZ]

Why would anyone wear a gas mask to an under bridge rave? That just seems silly

It's still 800 million and it takes some pretty strong will-power to decline it.

You're right, fair play to him.

$800 million though - How would they make that back from a tour?

Ticket sales and sponsorship.

If you have 50 mil in the bank. Why would you need 800 more tbh. He prob has more than 50 tho. Lol

 

[old.Tohtori]

I think it's more to do with principles(haven't looked into it, but reasons). He is loaded for certain, to a comfortable degree, so why do what you don't want to

Holy shit.

66 years old, kids grown up, why would he need that kind of shit? Ironically, the numbers involved probably made it less likely he'd participate, not more; the highest grossing tour on record is just under $800m (U2), and this was taking about paying the band more than that before overheads? They would have had to gross well into the billions, which would have meant a seriously punishing tour.

Not upset just bored

Same here - were about to write something exceedingly witty but @Scouse just killed all creativity and endeavour.

I'll probably get verbally attacked by you lot but I went to see the poppies at the Tower. Impressive.

Re all the other random stuff I'm not racist, I don't hate foreigners. I am totally unbiased. I hate EVERYONE!

I wish I'd have got my arse into gear and gone to see them too

 

[sayward]

I probably wouldn't have but had an appointment in town so I made the effort. Wish I'd gone sooner there were so many people there.

I doubt anyone would criticise you for that!! I went to see them and they are a very moving sight. I also went over to the memorial for the merchant navy who were lost, and found my grandfather's name on one of the plaques.

I couldn't be arsed. I did give £2 for a poppy pin badge though.

I wish they would stop banging on about them giving up their lives for our freedom though, the WW1 soldiers died because the rich and the powerful of the time had a falling out, nothing more.

 

[sayward]

I did something today I have never done before.

I bought myself a pair of wellingtons!

Admittedly they are called Stardust and are black with glitter in them.

There's definitely been a bit of propaganda thing going on with the poppies over the last few years. Looking at it from outside the UK it really feels like there's a concerted attempt to force poppy wearing on the population.

Speaking as someone from a long line of military men, I'm all for marking a day of remembrance, but that doesn't mean turning it into some kind of compulsory event; it misses the point about what (the WW2 generation at least) were fighting for.

I saw on Facebook that a few Nationalist Irish have turned it into a 'fuck the murdering british army day' which is quite funny, we're so bothered about Muslims burning poppies, but after a quick look through some comments of pictures of poppies, alot of the anti-poppy people were Irish.

Me? Whilst it's sad that people died for conflict, I don't buy into the whole poppy thing, because it sort of justifies war - Oh, people die, but we remember them, so its cool.

I think it's ok for the ww1 and ww2 where people were conscripted and didn't have a choice.

But since conscription stopped everyone joining the forces knew what they were signing up for and agreed with the risks etc. our sovereignty hasn't been threatened since and apart from the Falklands and Ireland all other deployments have been other people's wars.

So okay, it's okay because we're sorry for the people that were forced to die for aristocracy, I think there's more blame with WW1 and WW2, atleast today you have a choice if you want to kill yourself for the lady of the manor down the road.

 

[Raven]

WW2 was actually a pretty just war tbh, naturally it was down to a few rich and powerful people being utter dicks but we were defending our way of life (the fact that our way of life changed anyway is not the point)

 

[Moriath]

Ww1 was the inbred elite having a hissy fit

Ww2 was a pact of mad ppls thinking they could take over the world,

 

[megadave]

It used to be a symbol to remember the innocent dead and remember our mistakes so that something so catastrophic doesn't reoccur, now it just seems to be a way to gain public support for the military

Abba turned down a billion dollar package to do a world tour..they are the gods of pop.

Third goal was a bit Forsberg-esque.

 

[CorNokZ]

Oh look, now the Canadians are talking aboot hockey again, eh

 

[old.Tohtori]

Pff, canadians wish they had our hockey culture

 

[fettoken]

Christianity is interesting. Based on a guy that gets brutally tortured to death. Murder, pillage and rape (young kids. Good stuff.

 

[CorNokZ]

Uhh, a religious arguement in the making!

I'll be back in a week's time
